Answer:

  1. b

  2. For each 1000 miles driven, (a) saves 10.9 gallons, while (b) saves 19.8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel savings will depend on the miles driven. If we use 1000 miles as the reference, the various vehicle fuel usages are ...

  gallons = miles/(miles/gallon)

  18 mpg: 1000/18 = 55.6 gallons

  28 mpg: 1000/28 = 35.7 gallons

  34 mpg: 1000/34 = 29.4 gallons

  54 mpg: 1000/54 = 18.5 gallons

So, ...

  replacing 34 mpg with 54 mpg saves 29.4 -18.5 = 10.9 gallons.

  replacing 18 mpg with 28 mpg saves 55.6 -35.7 ≈ 19.8 gallons.

Replacing the SUV with a sedan saves more fuel, assuming all vehicles are driven the same distance.

__

The fuel use reduction from 18 mpg to 28 mpg is about 36%, whereas from 34 mpg to 54 mpg. the reduction is about 37%. The SUV replacement is a better choice because the smaller fraction of a much larger fuel use is still more savings than obtained by replacing the compact car.

The expression for the sum to 'n' terms of some Arithmetic Sequence are given beliw. Find the 'nth' term of each
i)n^2+2n
ii) n^2- 2n​

Answers

Given:

Arithmetic Sequence

Find:

'nth' term of each

i)n^2+2n

ii) n^2- 2n​

Solution:

1) Sum of first n terms = n² + 2n

We know that,

Sum of first n terms = n/2 * [ a + l ]

Where,

a is first term

l is nth or last term.

Substitute n = 1 to find the sum of first 1 terms i.e., first term (a) of the AP.

→ S₁ = a = (1)² + 2(1)

→ a = 1 + 2

→ a = 3

Hence,

→ n/2 * [ a + l ] = n² + 2n

→ a + l = n(n + 2) * 2/n

→ a + l = 2n + 4

→ l = 2n + 4 - a

→ l = 2n + 4 - 3

→ l = 2n + 1

Hence, the nth term is 2n + 1.

2)S(n) = n² - 2n

→ S₁ = a = (1)² - 2(1)

→ a = - 1

Hence,

→ n/2 * [ - 1 + l ] = n² - 2n

→ l - 1 = n(n - 2) * 2/n

→ l - 1 = 2n - 4

→ l = 2n - 4 + 1

→ l = 2n - 3

Hence, the nth term is 2n - 3.

I hope it will help you.

Step-by-step explanation:

Series

The series of a sequence is the sum of the sequence to a certain number of terms. It is often written as Sn. So if the sequence is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ... , the sum to 3 terms = S3 = 2 + 4 + 6 = 12.

The Sigma Notation

The Greek capital sigma, written S, is usually used to represent the sum of a sequence. This is best explained using an example:

This means replace the r in the expression by 1 and write down what you get. Then replace r by 2 and write down what you get. Keep doing this until you get to 4, since this is the number above the S. Now add up all of the term that you have written down.

This sum is therefore equal to 3×1 + 3×2 + 3×3 + 3×4 = 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 30.

3

S 3r + 2

r = 1

This is equal to:

(3×1 + 2) + (3×2 + 2) + (3×3 + 2) = 24 .

The General Case

n

S Ur

r = 1

This is the general case. For the sequence Ur, this means the sum of the terms obtained by substituting in 1, 2, 3,... up to and including n in turn for r in Ur. In the above example, Ur = 3r + 2 and n = 3.

Arithmetic Progressions

An arithmetic progression is a sequence where each term is a certain number larger than the previous term. The terms in the sequence are said to increase by a common difference, d.

For example: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, is an arithmetic progression where d = 2. The nth term of this sequence is 2n + 1 .

In general, the nth term of an arithmetic progression, with first term a and common difference d, is: a + (n - 1)d . So for the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, ... Un = 3 + 2(n - 1) = 2n + 1, which we already knew.

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic progression

This is given by:

Sn = ½ n [ 2a + (n - 1)d ]

You may need to be able to prove this formula. It is derived as follows:

The sum to n terms is given by:

Sn = a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) + … + (a + (n – 1)d) (1)

If we write this out backwards, we get:

Sn = (a + (n – 1)d) + (a + (n – 2)d) + … + a (2)

Now let’s add (1) and (2):

2Sn = [2a + (n – 1)d] + [2a + (n – 1)d] + … + [2a + (n – 1)d]

So Sn = ½ n [2a + (n – 1)d]

Example

Sum the first 20 terms of the sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ... (i.e. the first 20 odd numbers).

S20 = ½ (20) [ 2 × 1 + (20 - 1)×2 ]

= 10[ 2 + 19 × 2]

= 10[ 40 ]

= 400

Geometric Progressions

A geometric progression is a sequence where each term is r times larger than the previous term. r is known as the common ratio of the sequence. The nth term of a geometric progression, where a is the first term and r is the common ratio, is:

arn-1

For example, in the following geometric progression, the first term is 1, and the common ratio is 2:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...

The nth term is therefore 2n-1

The sum of a geometric progression

The sum of the first n terms of a geometric progression is:

a(1 - rn )

1 – r

We can prove this as follows:

Sn = a + ar + ar2 + … + arn-1 (1)

Multiplying by r:

rSn = ar + ar2 + … + arn (2)

(1) – (2) gives us:

Sn(1 – r) = a – arn (since all the other terms cancel)

And so we get the formula above if we divide through by 1 – r .

Example

What is the sum of the first 5 terms of the following geometric progression: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 ?

S5 = 2( 1 - 25)

1 - 2

= 2( 1 - 32)

-1

= 62

The sum to infinity of a geometric progression

In geometric progressions where |r| < 1 (in other words where r is less than 1 and greater than –1), the sum of the sequence as n tends to infinity approaches a value. In other words, if you keep adding together the terms of the sequence forever, you will get a finite value. This value is equal to:

a

1 – r

Example

Find the sum to infinity of the following sequence:

1 , 1 , 1 ,

1

,

1

,

1

, ...

2 4 8 16 32 64

Here, a = 1/2 and r = 1/2

Therefore, the sum to infinity is 0.5/0.5 = 1 .

So every time you add another term to the above sequence, the result gets closer and closer to 1.

Harder Example

The first, second and fifth terms of an arithmetic progression are the first three terms of a geometric progression. The third term of the arithmetic progression is 5. Find the 2 possible values for the fourth term of the geometric progression.

The first term of the arithmetic progression is: a

The second term is: a + d

The fifth term is: a + 4d

So the first three terms of the geometric progression are a, a + d and a + 4d .

In a geometric progression, there is a common ratio. So the ratio of the second term to the first term is equal to the ratio of the third term to the second term. So:

a + d = a + 4d

a a + d

(a + d)(a + d) = a(a + 4d)

a² + 2ad + d² = a² + 4ad

d² - 2ad = 0

d(d - 2a) = 0

therefore d = 0 or d = 2a

The common ratio of the geometric progression, r, is equal to (a + d)/a

Therefore, if d = 0, r = 1

If d = 2a, r = 3a/a = 3

So the common ratio of the geometric progression is either 1 or 3 .

Rory is at the local mall and her favorite type of jeggings are on sale. The jeggings are now
priced at $7 per pair, tax free. She has $27 with her, but she needs to have $6 leftover to
spend on a movie theater ticket.
Which inequality represents how many pairs of jeggings Rory can buy, where / represents
the number of jeggings?

Answers

Answer:

j ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she has $27 with her and needs a balance if $6, the amount of money she can spend on buying the jeggings will be $27-$6 = $21

This means that she has $21 to spend on buying the jeggins

From the question, one jeggings cost $7, so the maximum number of jeggings she can buy is 21/7 = 3

So the inequality that represents this will be;

j ≤ 3

This is because she can decide to buy less than 3, but never can she buy more than 3 because of her budgetary constraints

Caleb is a junior at JA Enterprise High School and plays rugby on the school team. He has a part-time job at a local fast-food restaurant and works 20 hours a week for $7.60 an hour. His gross monthly income is $608.00, and his take-home pay is $501.64. In his spare time, Caleb walks a dog belonging to an elderly neighbor. He earns an additional $40.00 per month for that chore.

Caleb's parents gave him a used car, and he pays his own insurance, which is $110 per month. His gas and maintenance expenses usually run $65 a month. He also has a cell phone and pays his parents $30 each month for his share of the family plan.

In three weeks, Caleb plans to take a day trip to Six Flags amusement park. His admission will cost $50, and he plans to have $35 for meals and another $50 for incidentals.

Caleb needs to start saving for Christmas, which is in four months, and he usually spends around $200 on gifts for his family and friends. He also would like to buy a new $80 e-reader this month.

Though Caleb's parents will help pay for his college tuition, he knows that in two years, he will have to pay for his books and earn his own spending money. He is estimating that each semester, he will spend $300 on books and $600 on personal needs.

How much are Caleb's regular monthly expenses?

Answers

Answer:

Caleb's net monthly income would be $541.64

Step-by-step explanation:

His monthly take home pay from restaurant is $501.64

Since he earns additional $40 per month for dog walk,

Therefore, his monthly pay would be ;

= $501.64 + $40

Caleb's net monthly income =$541.64

Caleb's monthy regular expenses including car insurance and books is

$355.

What is an equation?

An equation is written in the form of variables and constants separated by the operation of multiplication and division,

An equation states that terms in different forms on both sides of the equality sign are equal.

Multiplication and division do not separate the terms of an equation.

From the given information, The total net earnings of Caleb is,

= $(501.64 + 40).

= $541.64.

Now, The expenses for Car insurance, Gas, and cell phone recharge is,

= $(110 + 65 + 30).

= $205.

Again, For books and personal needs, he have to spend $(300 + 600).

= $900.

Monthly it is,

= 900/6.

= $150.

Therefore, Caleb's regular expenses is,

= $(205 + 150).

= $355.
